Cell Membrane
Cell Membrane (Lipid Bilayer, Plasma Membrane)
•Function – Regulates what enters and leaves the cell and also provides protection and support.
Cell Membrane (Lipid Bilayer, Plasma Membrane)
•Structure – A double layered sheet. Gives the cell membrane a tough, flexible structure.
Cell Membrane (Lipid Bilayer, Plasma Membrane)
•Selectively Permeable – Allows only certain substances to pass through.
Passive Transport
• Movement of molecules across a membrane that does NOT require energy.
Passive Transport
• Diffusion – Movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Passive Transport
• Osmosis – Diffusion of water.
Active Transport
• Movement of molecules across a membrane that DOES require energy.
